Sketchbook & Notes
(Above – Sketching at Poza Honda/Manabi/Ecuador while waiting on the Brown Wood Rail.)(To see these Brown Wood Rails in Lisa’s Poza Honda ‘back yard,’ download the Artivive app on your phone and aim at the drawing!)After a successful drawing session, Lisa prepares to leave just before dark at Refugio de la Tomatera – Portoviejo/Ecuador.“Walk with me? – Step into my World” – some prefer to witness my life through the exposition by the same name at the Museo Portoviejo/Ecuador!“Step into My World”
Working from just-taken photo on camera – Hint: it’s a Sparrow that lives in Ecuador’s Cloud Forest… OK, Bananaquit – No Talking! – No kidding!
“No Talking Zone’ ahead; you may enter quietly but please don’t disturb that artist at work! Until the work is finished, critiques and suggestions can throw an artist’s concentration off balance, and the essence of the moment evaporates. You are welcome to visit as long as you respect the No-talking Zone! For the latest update, go here: Update/Feb. 2022

You have inspired me to restart painting again after 65 years! Muchas Gracias!
Hi Lisa,
Do you remember the wisteria painting on sheet rock
That you donated to the riverboat cruise ship 20 or less years ago? My parents were the lucky winners. It has held up beautifully, so much so that I would love to have one that size for my den. My dad had it framed, if I remember correctly. What might I expect to pay for that size in a wispy floral design with maybe a butterfly or two. Thankyou for your time and talent and treasure.
